overstimulation of the auditory system  

Définition(s)

  • Sound is the stimulus that activates the hair cells in the inner ear and starts the sequence of chemical and electrical processes that activate auditory nerve fibers and ultimately lead to perception. Sound that is too loud and lasts too long can severely damage the hair cells, can reduce or abolish activation of auditory nerve fibers, and can lead to impaired perception. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Auditory System: Damage Due to Overstimulation]
